Heyy...

I was college today where I helped to tidy up the fine art rooms, coz theyve got to look brand spanking new for the exhibition. Actually was pretty kewl as we had finished the job by like 10.30am...then had an hour break...lol and then they discussed what was happening on thurs n then they sed we could go hoooome :)

Thurs...All the students get allocated a space n then we have to prep it...paint it twice and make sure its clean...then mount our work with staples or sticky fixers...the only problemo is, is that if our work falls off they won't put it back up :S So I have to make sure whatever I display will be superglued to the board....lol


I'm kinda stuck..coz I'm not really sure what to display..either the frames which most ppl are diggin or the boxes??...but I only have one board and that is not much space at all....hmmmm....I'll have to have a deep think later...

Other than that I'm diggin my 1st transparency which is almost complete..jus gotta print off some images and text and then it'll be dun n dusted :D

During one of my breaks..I decided to upload my completed cardboard sculptures/boxes onto my TIG Gallery. So if you're readin this then please do check them out and I'd like to know your thoughts, suggestions, ideas....etc. It would be a great help to me. Thanks.

I am aiming to complete the transparencies tonight...so that I can work on the t-shirts tomorrow and fingers crossed complete them. That leaves Thurs and Fri and possibly Sat to rework the boxes. Sat, Sun and Mon will be updating sketchbook and tidying up portfolio. So Tuesday..will be last minute things to do...and finally Wednesday 10am hand in deadline...kinda scary..coz then in 2 weeks I'll find out my grade :S

Rite enough typin...best get to work!

Peace,

Yep that's what I have been up2 2day...WASTING TODAY!

I dunno what's wrong...actually I do. I think I'm becoming a tad lazy and that ain't good.

I woke up late..at 10am to be precise. Then I decided to complete the student finance form which is already a month late (oops!). Yep. I'll have to remember to post that tomorrow. Oh yeah then sorted my mobile out. Since I can't afford a contract phone now..going back to pay as u go which is kewl. I did a couple of other odd jobs.

Then I decided to get down to work...ended up sitting down staring at a few pieces of transparencies I'd printed on. Lol..I'll correct that. Transparencies I screwedd up the night before...God knows what I was thinking...basically I kinda ruined them. I thought by using Indian Ink it would create a wikid effect...obviously not!

I'll stick a pic on here of one.

Yeah so then I jus kinda got a piece and started working on it...I'm kinda diggin it which is good I suppose...just thinking how to incorporate an mdg into it...

Hmmmm....

Yeah.

Peace.

I thought I'd type up a short blog...just before I attempt to tidy the study room (lol trashed my room with art n now I've moved into the study..hehe).

This week didn't start off too well...coz on Monday I planned to print of a large no of photos for my notebook and also work on the fabric squares...

However after like a half hour..the printer died on me...I was like nooooooo you cant do that to me esp not since my deadline is super soon! Yeah so the photo plan got ruined..

Then I was supposed to work into some squares of fabric. The thing is I literally tore my room apart trying to look for them..and I still can't find them! Argh..not good..knowing me I betcha I'll find them when I've submitted my project!

Yeah so those 2 things kinda sucked!

But on the positive side...I got the mono printing complete. I printed each mdg on to a sheet of super kewl acetate that I had previously printed on. The thing is theyre still drying and its been like 3-4 days...hmm...I'm also gonna have to print them a 2nd time to make them stand out.

What else...has been successful?

Oooh...the pieces of fused plastic I have been working on. I had a kewl chat with Terry and he gave me sum advice which I kinda already knew but it's always good to get a 2nd opinion. I have been working on them most of the week...just been very time consuming I guess.

I started them earlier in the week and they're 90% complete. I'm just waiting for them to dry and then I'm gonna mount them onto A1.

Good News yesterday I got a brand new printer and yeah I'm also printing out the pics to add to my notebook!!

I think I'm gonna have a tidy up and then complete the plastics...and then...erm....hmmm....maybe go back to the mono prints?...also going to amend the cardboard boxes I made earlier....ermmmm....yeah

Right break up better get back to work...

Peace out

I havent blogged on here for a while...

I've been super duper busy with my art project I guess which is going kewl...

At the mo' I am printing off photos I took yesterday of the stretched fabric frames and also of the cardboard boxes. I have also been emailing friends so I get gain a wide range of thoughts, criticisms and new ideas to work from...

This printing is taking ages...I have printed 8 photos out of 40! I know it's going to take forever...

Anywayz...I have also made a list of jobs I have to complete for my project by Friday...so far 1 job has been completed!...yay!

The 2nd job..working on fabric squares I cut out..the thing is I can't find them in my room. Lol..I have literally teared my room apart tryin to find them..and outta 8. I have found only 2....I was getting a little frustrated yesterday...I guess it proves that I should clean my room frequently. But it's kinda hard when you're working on art...yup..so I'm going to have to move on to job no 3 which is working on the mono print sheets..and then mount them onto A1 sheets for my portfolio...

Other than art...nothin much has been happenin...I visited my nan last nite...erh. She came back from Pakistan last week and had all these clothes made that my sister and I had to try on..wasnt diggin it at all..lol after being told constantly that I've got to lose weight for the wedding. Aaah! I know I can do it..(that's the spirit motivation!)

Something last nite did bug me though...seriously I must have been asked like 10 times between by 2 aunts and my nan why I've booked 3 saturdays off work...I explained that I have a lot of art to complete b4 the final deadline and they all just laughed?..to be honest I don't think they understand how time comsuming art is and how important art is to me...lol and then my nan was like well everyone else has been working hard all day...you've just been sitting doing art so you can get everyone what they want...I really wish that they would accept me doing art..but I guess that attitude is typical of the asian culture. As long as you're studying to be a doctor, lawyer, accountant, computer science or whatever...you're kewl..but not if u decide to opt for something else. Studying art is pretty much unheard of in asian culture...I did read an interesting article in The Sunday Times about 2 weeks ago about British Asians living in the UK and there was an artist...but guess what?...she happened to be an accountant before she became an artist! I dunno..I just think it's a real shame though...

lol..haha anywayz enough of my complaining!

I best get back to some art now..

Adios

Peace out,

Aww..today was so beautiful. It was nice and warm, the sun was shining and there were lots of butterflies in the garden...sweet!

I decided to get to work early and with it being so warm and sunny...I planned to tie and dye some t-shirts I bought and hang them to dry. I was pretty pleased with my achievement of completing the task..I worked from 10am - 1pm which went kewl...got dye all over me but it was so much fun! Then I had a lunch break...came on here...checked mails...all that stuff. From 3pm - 5pm I did some mono printing as it went so well yesterday. Result was wickid! Hmm...but I need to get some more colours..(theyre so expensive though!!)

Since then I 'attempted' to clean my room a little...got bored of doing that so I took a break...then went back to it. It's quite kewl because I can actually walk across my room...rather than leaping over the pile of art junk which was slowing taking up the whole floor...

Lol...when I move to uni...I think my room is gonna be a junkyard of art stuff.. I'll have to sort problem that out!

Other than that..I can't wait til tomorrow is over...no more going to work for 3 weeks...as I have realy got to concentrate on completing my FMP. It is going alrite...jus that I keep getting new ideas to try out and as its getting to the end of the project...I'm thinking aaah...I should jus work on the old stuff...otherwise I'll run outta time!

Plus on top of that I have to prepare my exhibition...thinking of photographing the boxes and presenting the photographs... i dunnoo thats jus a 1st idea i guess...sounds a boring now that ive typed it out...hmmm

ah yeh random photo i put on here...hmm... got bored yesterday n jus decided to take it..kinda like it..anywayz...


well i best get sum sleep..early start 2moro :S

peace,
